The World Energy Council’s (WEC’s) ‘Global Transport Scenarios 2050’ report highlights the role of governments in providing a sustainable future for the global transport sector.

The WEC expects transport fuel demand in the next 40 years to come mainly from developing countries, such as China and India, where demand is expected to grow by between 200% and 300%.

In contrast, transport fuel demand for developed countries will drop by up to 20%, mainly owing to increased efficiencies. The demand of developing countries is expected to surpass that of developed countries by 2025.

via WEC scenarios envision radically different transport sector by 2050.
